My Childhood Friend Who Dumped Me and My Ex-girlfriend Are in the Same Class chapter 195

#34

It wasn’t funny at first.

Because a completely strange face appeared.

Then came the shame.

Perhaps this guy was watching all the people who were sitting in front of the tombstone and trembling. At that thought, a burning heat rose on the nape of my neck.

“Why are you here… … .”

At the murmur that cleared his voice and spit out.

“He went out late at night without saying a word, so I followed him secretly.”

“… … I mean, why are you still here? Aren’t you all back? And put some respect in it. It’s creepy.”

Yuri slowly stood up while stroking her shoulder. Ezio, who was holding an umbrella, countered by saying that he did not understand at all.

“What are you talking about, Princess? We never went back. Rubia and Stella still remain in the royal castle.”

Yuri’s body stopped and hardened.

I immediately let out a deep sigh.

“… … You lied. ha.”

“lie?”

“No, it’s okay. … … Rather, didn’t you hear what I said? Do you want me to stop saying respect?”

“okay.”

At the moment when he wanted to listen to him because he was crooked, Ezio meekly nodded and returned to his original tone.

“What is it really… … .”

He’s also a weird guy. Although he corrected his tone of voice, he doesn’t seem to have any intention of fixing that face that seems to be making fun of him.

“… … Why are you looking like that?”

“I wondered what I was doing here alone.”

“… … It doesn’t matter. whatever I do.”

“It’s raining. Because I catch a cold.”

“… … it’s my body Never mind.”

“I don’t know, but your parents will be very concerned.”

“What do you know?”

Yuri was in a bad mood there. Still, I was in a state of accusation of dissatisfaction because of my parents. Even direct mentions came out, so naturally, I opened my mouth as if stinging with a sharp blade.

“And what are you, meddling in my affairs? Whether our parents care or not… … .”

“What? You are friends.”

“… … .”

“It’s natural to be worried when your friend is sick.”

Yuri barely found something to say.

“It doesn’t hurt now.”

“If I hadn’t come, I would have gone back wet in the rain.”

“… … I don’t catch a cold as much as I just got hit by the rain. My body is not so weak that you worry about it.”

“You are really stubborn.”

“Hey, are you okay now?”

Ezio shook his head lightly, looking down at Yuri as he turned his head with his arms crossed.

“no. This is how you are.”

The appearance of Yuri today was really different from the Yuri that Ezio knew. A princess of one country who is treated with utmost respect by everyone. noble body. Not only the atmosphere, but also the appearance that I thought would only scream loudly in the Frontier had completely disappeared.

It’s a familiar look now.

Yuri, who was trying to refute Ezio’s words, ‘What’s wrong with me’, realized that it was an awkward line and swallowed the words back.

“The kids?”

“You are waiting. Just because you need to know if you can come back to the real Frontier or not… … What did you and the King have to say?”

“I just said I was going to go back today, but I just heard that it wasn’t possible and I came out frustrated.”

Was that the inspector who ran out of the royal palace? I was so frustrated that even tears… … No, Ezio could have been wrong. But at least it seems right that the anger burst out because it was so unfair that the tear glands were stimulated.

“Isn’t that a problem because you said you were going back today? From their point of view, maybe they need a little more preparation.”

“No way. You just don’t want to let me go. I was afraid that something big like the last time would happen when I went there… … .”

Even with that said, Yuri understood her parents’ point of view. There’s no way that what pops once won’t explode twice. Rather, it seemed that he did not understand Yuri, who was constantly trying to return there. You must be thinking that you are not afraid of being in a big trouble.

In fact, if Yuri herself asked if she wasn’t worried at all——in the end, she would show negativity.

For the first time in my life, I saw a demon.

It was a life-threatening crisis, really nearing death.

It was the first time I saw with my own two eyes the existence of a demon that could only appear in legends… … It was the first time I was so angry.

To be honest, it was very difficult. It’s not common to be in a situation where you’ve been pushed to the limit, both physically and mentally. In the case of a princess like Yuri, the impact would have doubled.

Still, it was thanks to my friends that I was able to survive. It was because of my friends that I always wanted to go back even after taking risks. Without them, Yuri might have carefully reconsidered returning to the Frontier.

However, there are friends there, so Yuri must return to the Frontier. no matter what happens

“I thought about it the last time I worked.”

Suddenly, Yuri opened her mouth. Crunchy raindrops were dripping down, soaking the umbrellas above them.

“Are you… … what?”

Yuri said anxiously, looking up at the culprit who kept confusing her with a face resembling my older brother.

“What kind of question do you have?”

“That’s right. Your very existence is strange. You use a strange power you don’t even know about. I heard a lot of strange things from drunks or something. There are too many secrets. Other than that, you were weird from the start.”

“what?”

“… … It’s like my brother. If even my parents acknowledged it, it would be suspiciously similar. maybe you… … .”

“I don’t know what terrifying conspiracy theory you’re thinking, but it probably isn’t. And I can’t give you a clear answer to your question.”

“… … why?”

“Neither do I. Exactly what I am.”

Yuri’s eyebrows shifted strangely.

Sometimes there are young children who wander because they cannot properly establish their own identity, and there is one word that collectively expresses their characteristics. Maybe Ezio is like that too. To think that way, you must have been serious… … .

“So, I am trying to find out. When I get to know you properly, I will tell you too, so please wait a little bit.”

What does this mean

“… … It’s weird too, you.”

“and.”

“… … ?”

“As for your brother and my face, there is one thing I can say for sure.”

What secret was hidden?

Yuri looked up at Ezio with a mysterious face.

Ezio turned his head towards the tombstone Yuri had just been looking at. After a moment of silence for Eidel, who was sleeping under this, he slowly raised his eyelids and muttered quietly.

“I wasn’t born this way.”

shoot ah… …

His voice was washed away by the sound of rain.

“He was very short, his face was completely different, and he was even ugly. … … That’s not to say it’s good now. I had a complex about myself for a while, and it’s still the same today. I still think it’s lacking in every way. I.”

It was something I had never heard of from Ezio. So, Yuri was listening to Ezio’s past now.

Ezio Cranil, who always seemed so perfect as an honor student, was talking about his days as an inferior student.

“There were more cons than pros. … … No, there was no advantage. At that time, I didn’t know how to do anything. I’m at the bottom of the whole school, and I make mistakes whenever I have time… … Of course I have no friends. Living like this all the time, I’m wasting nothing but air. I was thinking the same thing every day.”

Yuri suddenly had a thought. Ezio’s eyes looking back on the past seem somewhat sad. Unknowingly, I brought the words “no” to my throat in a tone that seemed to be self-helpful, but then I closed my mouth and remained silent.

Inside, it was a series of small and big shocks.

Were you last in school? Are you a student of Frontier Epic Class?

Have you ever made mistakes in your spare time? The guy who was so diligent and machine-like training that he was tired of repeating all day long?

You didn’t even have any friends? that… … He was the same, though. Judging by Ezio’s personality and outward appearance, I think he would have made friends on his own… … .

“I am not lying.”

“… … Well, it looks like that.”

It was a story that could not be believed at all, but for some reason Yuri believed Ezio’s words. There was no other reason to play pranks like this, and first of all, I know he’s a serious guy when he’s serious… … .

than that.

The words of Ezio who asked the demon if he could restore his mind and body to their original state. I think I can understand a little bit now.

Wasn’t it originally like this? What changes happened in the middle? So, who is this guy now? Are you saying you switched bodies with someone? if not… … .

I do not know. I also don’t know Unless you explain it properly.

“Anyway, it was. Rubia may have heard of my past, but she probably didn’t even tell me this.”

I don’t know what this is… … Ezio was partly right. Because Rubia never said anything gossip about Ezio.

Other things were said, though.

When she visited Rubia’s room before taking the midterm exam, Yuri remembered the stories she had heard from Rubia.

So, I vaguely knew. About Ezio and Rubia’s past. About the relationship between them… … .

“It’s been a while since I’ve changed like this. I don’t know much either, so I can’t tell you something for sure. I can’t answer the reason why I resemble your brother’s face in the same context. I don’t know either.”

“… … It’s just a coincidence, then.”

“Yeah, maybe.”

I wonder if there are all sorts of ridiculous coincidences like this, but looking at what happened this time, it wasn’t a difficult reality to accept. Even demon-like beings appear in abundance, but what a coincidence.

“What happened? Do you know why?”

Yuri sighed. It was indeed what he said. Something to know for a reason. What matters is the reality in front of you.

“… … hey.”

“why.”

“My arm is getting sore.”

“So what, what?”

“Is it better to go back now? The kids will be waiting too. And if we’re late, we’ll get in trouble.”

“respect.”

“It would be nice to go back.”

“Hmm-.”

“What is it, hey? What are you going to do in the end?”

“What are you going to do?”

“You can go back to the Frontier, right?”

Yuri tilted her head slightly to the side.

“What did I say earlier? Because my dad is against it. No matter what I say, I can’t seem to hear it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back or not.”

“… … How are you?”

“what.”

“How do you feel? Do you want to go back?”

“Why did you ask a question that was obvious? If I didn’t want to go back, I wouldn’t have fought like that with my dad. Idiot.”

“but… … .”

“You’re really stupid.”

“I see.”

Ezio shrugged. Yuri let out a terrifying laugh. I wonder if it was when we were sharing a silly joke, but our steps didn’t come off easily.

“Are you there?”

“Why again? You have to come back soon.”

“And that too. Your parents are against it because they are afraid that you will be in danger again, right?”

“… … .”

It was a bit difficult to affirm, so Yuri responded with silence. Then Ezio continued.

“Then if there is no more reason for you to be in danger, can you return to the Frontier?”

“… … it will be like that What do you want to say?”

“No, I thought it would be better to eliminate the cause of the accident. Then I think your parents will understand. Where trust has been shattered about Frontiers, how difficult it may be to recover… … .”

“… … Eliminate the cause?”

“yes.”

Ezio nodded.

“The last accident and the last accident in District 4 must all have happened because of me. maybe.”

“What else is this… … .”

“What happened in District 4 was definitely targeting me. What happened in the labyrinth… … As a result, my existence was the cause. The devil has been watching me from the beginning. I was caught by the devil… … It means that you are also involved.”

There is no reason to be responsible for this. Ezio is just a victim. But whatever the reason, it happened because of Ezio’s existence. If it weren’t for Ezio… … There would have been no unnecessary confusion.

Meanwhile, a conclusion came to Yuri’s mind as she followed the context of the conversation. I instinctively knew what Ezio was trying to say.

‘… … no way?’

Then, a strange emotion settled deep in Yuri’s eyes. It was a feeling I couldn’t even fathom.

“So, later, if I think there is no other way, then I… … You must leave the Frontier.”

leaving the frontier

As soon as those words came down, Yuri opened her mouth small.

“… … Then you can go back to the frontier. I will explain the details to His Majesty the King. That way, even if it’s not certain, your chances of coming back will increase.”

Without Ezio himself.

Glass can return safely.

You can live the life you want.

At that logic, Yuri slowly opened her mouth.

“Resignation… … are you going to do it?”

It was a slightly shaky voice.

The answer will come back soon.

“If you need.”

“… … .”

Why can’t I open my mouth well? I feel like my throat is dry. It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but I really think Ezio is leaving Frontier… … It was a strange feeling that I can’t describe in words.

“… … Rubia will be sad.”

In the end, the words uttered were crude.

“I can’t help it. It is right that I am leaving Frontier, not only for you, but also for Rubia. I can’t put you guys in danger any more.”

“It’s overly self-conscious. Why do you think it happened because of you alone?”

“Because that’s true. I’m pretty sure I’m somehow heavily involved in the cause of the incident. Don’t you even know a little bit about it?”

“I… … I don’t know. How do I know that?”

Yuri shook her head as if in a grudge.

“and you.”

Ezio, who softened his eyebrows, continued.

“Honestly, you don’t like me. It would be more beneficial to you without me, and you would have less time to be temperamental.”

at that time.

Ezio didn’t notice that Yuri’s face hardened slightly. I naturally raise the end of my speech and ask.

“It must have been uncomfortable because of me every time… … is not it?”

“Oh, no.”

“Yeah, so… … .”

Ezio, who was still speaking, suddenly blinked.

“… … What?”

A strange voice came out. The sound of raindrops splashing on the umbrella is loud for a long time. A cold voice pierced through them.

“Who says it?”

“… … uh?”

“Who is that?”

“… … what.”

Yuri said with a young tone of anger.

“Honestly,” he said. Why are you choosing my honest opinion as you please? Don’t be funny. What do you know about me and say that?”

No one knew why he was angry.

Ezio and even Yuri herself.

“Hey, seeing how you usually treat me… … .”

“It’s just an action.”

Isn’t action an expression of the heart? But there are people in the world whose mind and action are separate. A very tired human figure. Because it means not being honest.

“You are my friend. You said you wanted to be friends with me first. Does it make sense to come to me and leave as you please? This cowardly way, I will never tolerate.”

He pours accusations, not accusations, at Ezio, who has forgotten what to say.

“I believe. that you are a precious friend He said that I was just having a hard time.”

Ezio pondered what this meant now, but lost sight of the conversation he had with the king.

I hope you’ve heard it all

I felt popular around me… … .

“Yeah, I’m having a hard time. I’m going to die very hard. My brother also died, and I can’t see him anymore. I can’t even see my friends there. He said he couldn’t go back to Frontier. I really like it there… … I hate breaking up with my friends like this.”

It is now difficult to wrap the gloomy tea as if it has matured and cover it. There are limits to what you can endure. Even though it wasn’t long, the friends were already part of Yuri. It’s not like we’re going to break up with them forever, but it’s depressing enough that we won’t see them for a long time.

Not to mention, Ezio too–

“… … I think I should have you by my side. I think it should be a strength.”

It’s crazy and it’s not even funny. No one ever asked Would you be ashamed in front of other people’s parents? To think that one’s existence can be someone’s strength is extremely arrogant and plastic… … .

So I don’t need anything like you.

“Then I mean, stay there.”

Thoughts and words were the opposite. It was still a habit of Yuri. thoughts and actions are completely different. I just did the same this time.

“Don’t go away on your own. idiot… … .”

after speaking.

… … He didn’t have the courage to raise his head and face him. It was also due to the rising feeling of unfairness, but the biggest reason was that I couldn’t afford the stinging heat that rushed in after I said that.

‘Am I crazy?’

In the end, Yuri realized what she had said and started regretting it later, but she couldn’t pick up the words she uttered.

“… … .”

I can’t see Ezio’s expression because he’s bowed his head. Yuri’s heart thumped rarely. Mostly because of shame.

Should I just pretend I don’t know and push my back? Or should I go back to the palace first like this? While I was pondering tens of thousands of times as each second passed, I heard a voice from above.

“… … I’m a little confused. Don’t you hate me?”

“What are you asking? no. I really hate it. You’re the worst for making me say this. … … But if you hate it enough to die.”

Flutter, Flutter-

A voice buried in the shallow rain.

“I wasn’t friends with you… … .”

Ezio listened carefully to that small voice.

… … after a while.

“Hey, I got goosebumps on my arm.”

Yuri, who lowered her head, stopped.

“Why are you here all of a sudden? Just in front of my brother… … Are you just doing this to show your good side? Don’t you mind doing this to me?”

Suddenly, Yuri’s molars slammed into small bumps.

People have shown sincerity.

I didn’t have the courage to do this… … .

“Aren’t you going to sell it?”

I was angry in a different way than before. My shoulders trembled and I wanted to hit my chin hard with my fists right away, but I managed to put up with it.

But Yuri’s reason was half gone.

So, I did it.

“Don’t be rude. taste to die for In my life, to a man like you… … ha, no done. I no longer need it.”

what is it

sloppy or not.

“Okay, before we go back to the kids.”

Anyway, I’m going to sell more from now on.

bum-

moved one step forward.

It enters deeper into the unfolded umbrella.

tuk-

If not now, there might be a chance. As Ezio said, if he leaves the Frontier, he will no longer be able to receive it.

… … what?

Yuri himself didn’t know that. Actions came first before thinking with his head. I feel like I’ve been completely ripped off.

His forehead was already leaning somewhere. Now I can’t go back Yuri tightly closed her eyes, which were dyed red to the earlobe. Ezio’s tie could be seen one last time before closing his eyelids.

… … It doesn’t matter if it’s a substitute. If you can receive reassurance and comfort, that is enough. Qualification was sufficient. Protected me, saved me, took care of me, and… … It’s a face that makes you want to make a fool of yourself without realizing it.

The smell of Ezio mixes in the damp air. Yuri thought she was crazy. I don’t like the smell of this guy.

like that.

She gently leans her forehead on her chest and pampers her without confidence, awkwardly lowering her hand that she couldn’t hold.

“head… stroke me.”

Ezio, who had been suspicious of his ears for a moment at the endless request, slowly looked down at Yuri’s crown.
